I want to run FF7 on my new Laptop but my textures look like this:
Oh i cant post my link.... but i will try something

My Laptop:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
2048 MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M (Optimus Technologie)
Intel Core i7-2630QM 2.0 - 2.9 GHz
8192MB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM

What I have done:
Installing the game
TrueMotion 2.0 codec
1.02 patch or xp-patch(tested with both)
chocobo patch

it doesn't affect my gameplay just the graphics and infight all looks normal.
in the config i have selected NVIDIA and the necessary 3D-features says all O.K. except 8-bit Platted Textures

You know, normally we wouldn't allow you to just blatantly spam up your post count, but you appear to be a human so I'll let it slide.

That's a real fucked up problem, but unfortunately I'm not tech savvy enough to answer it.

Can anyone help him here, this shit really sucks.

Ah man, FFVII on PCs nowadays is always kind of a hassle. I had some problems just getting it to work on XP. >.<

on my old xp computer it worked well, but now i have my notebook and my pc is destroyed, and i want to play it again.^^

btw thank you Smooth Criminal for your appreciation and not deleting the thread

Looks fucked up. You could try running it in compatibility mode (right-click the .exe, properties, go to Compatibility) and set it to XP or whichever version it still worked under.

Other than that, I dunno. I find PSX emulators to be much more reliable, .

Lol, it looks like your FF game went to Silent Hill. XD

Sheppard, it looks like the drivers that your graphics card is currently set to are not compatible with FFVII. I would suggest that you open the settings window on your graphics card and try switching to a different driver set. The problem likely lies in the fact that you are trying to run FFVII, which is made to be run in a 32-bit operating environment, in a 64-bit operating environment. If you've tried all of the 32-bit compatible drivers that your graphics card supports and the problem persists, the graphical glitch might be resolved by either lowering the resolution or by running in compatibility mode.

ok i solved the problem.... :-)

first i tried your advices and changed driver sets, and compatibility mode.
nothing worked.

Then I tried something new. I read you have to run the FF7.exe as administrator, cause otherwise it cant safe your games. So I did this all the time.

But now I tried to run the FF7Config.exe as Administrator, too. And all options were standard, then I set the NVIDIA option true and started:

Then turning RIVA 128 to TNT and all looks nice.

SOLUTION:
Run FF7.exe and FF7Config.exe as Administrator.

Thank you all for your help. I already tried the compatibility mode thing before but as you said i retried it and got the idea with admin permissions, so thank you all.
